Best value in an affordable quality USB flash drive, now

Edit: 3/25/21: The drive below is defective. I just did a transfer on an identical drive at 100Mbps. I still haven't gotten over my grudge against Corsair for replacing the original budget Voyager with the cheaper Voyager X-1. However, I have over 100 USB sticks and for value for money the drive seems to be the best at the moment. I have never spoiled one of these models in any size. After writing above, I tested the write speed on Win 10 in NTFS performance mode. On average it was a horrible…

Pros
  • Shockproof - The solid state drive makes Flash Voyager drives virtually shockproof.
Cons
  • Boring Pack

256GB necklace! on Data Storage

this was perfect for me - sort of storage between my desktop computer and my laptop. and TIP: 256GB is enough if you distribute your folders by year projects and then unload about halfway through the next. npc

Pros
  • Convenient - just plug it in and get started! Works with Windows, Mac OS X and even Linux without drivers.
Cons
  • Almost never

What a disappointment!

Today, after less than 2 months of normal use, this drive suddenly and completely "frozen" halfway to the light. It's no longer recognized on any computer I've tried it on and the LED is just solid blue. Conversely, my old Corsair 8GB USB 2.0 drive, which at first glance looks almost identical to this one, boots instantly on the same machines, as it has always done for many years. For this reason I did not hesitate to order this large, trendy and fast model, although I could not afford it…

Pros
  • Durability - Corsair's patented all-rubber case is extremely durable, water-resistant and drop-tested, so you can easily transport your valuable data.
Cons
  • Zero
